Yep, I remember the "good ol days" of waiting in line to try to get on one of the 4 servers that could only hold a combined total of 5000 players, 1250 each. Just came back after 3 years of not playing and wow has the game changed. Gettin re-addicted though.
I am definately getting the 360. I think the fact that the 360 is going to beat all of the other consoles out will really hurt them. I think this is where Xbox is going to really stand out over the other machines.
I remember Ogre Island too. It was made with the same concept as Runescape. I played it in the beta stage. I haven't played that game in about three years.
You would need to have a network router to do this I believe. And you would also need to have LAN ports on both computers. I could be wrong though, someone correct me if I am.
Its always good to have your computer plugged into a surge protector. You are lucky it was just the PSU. I've also seen modems fried during an electric storm too.
